The Horrifying Story Of The Gorgons, the Snake-Haired Monsters From Ancient Greek Legend
"According to Greek myth, three monstrous sisters named Medusa, Stheno, and Euryale lived "beyond glorious Ocean in the frontier land towards Night" — and they could turn men to stone with a single look."
By Andrew Milne
Clytemnestra, in Greek mythology, was the wife of Agamemnon, and the half-sister of Helen of Troy.
In Aeschylus' Oresteia, she murders Agamemnon – said by Euripides to be her second husband – and the Trojan princess Cassandra, whom Agamemnon had taken as a war prize following the sack of Troy; however, in Homer's Odyssey, her role in Agamemnon's death is unclear and her character is significantly more subdued.

In Mesopotamian mythology, the demigod King Gilgamesh was a tyrant, so the gods sent the wild man Enkidu to defeat him. Though Gilgamesh won, he was impressed by Enkidu's strength and tenacity. Because of his love for the wild man, Gilgamesh became a good king.

Today is #Kalevala day.
As such, I thought it would share my Kalevala-themed #linocut prints from 2020.
There's the swan of Tuonela, who swims on the black river, which is the gateway to the world of the dead.
There's Otso, the bear king of the forest.
And there's Ikiturso, a mythological sea monster.
